Halloween is just around the corner and its the season for tricks, treats and spooky desserts! Perfect time to indulge in sinful desserts and for this occasion, I have a perfect recipe to share – super moist eggless chocolate cupcakes. No fancy ingredients, simple eggless chocolate cupcakes topped with homemade buttercream frosting and finished with ‘ghost’ toppers and few sprinkles. Oh yum…. these cupcakes have Halloween written all over it.

My little one just LOVES Halloween and this occasion is kind of big deal around my house. For him it’s the spookiest time of the year! He chooses the most creepiest mask/costume for himself and dresses up as scary characters.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t like Halloween. It’s the creepy things like zombies, bones and skull props, and skeletons that totally freak me out. Thankfully this year, he chose a much decent costume – a Ninja warrior.. (compared to zombie costume/dress last year) whew!! Looking forward to all his warrior moves.

Every year, our neighborhood welcome treaters with treats and yummy snacks. This year, I plan to make chocolate cupcakes for our little treaters as it goes pretty well with the Halloween theme. Ghostly topping, Halloween sprinkles and chocolate cupcakes – no one can resist these!!

While testing this recipe in my kitchen, my attempt was to make the most creepiest and scariest cupcakes but they don’t look spooky at all. In fact, they look super “cute”. It looks as if the poor ghost is trying to save his beloved candy but is stuck in a pool of frosting. 😯 I guess, my little treaters are surely in for a treat this year. ♥︎ ♥︎

RECIPE DETAIL – Simple and straightforward recipe that uses no eggs and no butter. Making cupcakes at home is the best part, it’s made with love and you get to choose all your ingredients. Follow a step by step pictorial guide to make the best, super moist and yummiest cupcakes.

Hi Ruchi, Loving ur recipes…have one query and need one help as well
Can I powder the normal sugar at home for frosting? Will it give same results?

Now the help part which I am really looking forward to ,so pls pls reply: I have started taking baking fun classes for kids in my community but I am not able to structure the class, as in should there be a theory class before a new batch starts? Since hands on is not possible at my kitchen so demo of cupcakes will work?

Hi Ruchi. Me again. My son made a special request for these cupcakes for Diwali, and I just prepared another perfect batch. I am also making your khaman and a few other things from your site tomorrow for Diwali.

Anyway I just wanted to pop by and wish you and your lovely family a happy Diwali. God bless!!!

Namaste Ruchi. Thank you for your prompt replies to all my various queries on your other recipes. I really appreciate. Ruchi , I tried this recipe and omg the cupcakes came out beautiful. It had that perfect dome that I have not managed to achieve before. Thank you for sharing. I topped it off with baby blue buttercream and some sprinkle. Yum. You rock!!! 10 stars for this one! A quick query though, I’ve been using 250 ml cup measurements etc, but I saw on earlier comment you use 240, so I tried it that way. Can you please clarify which measurements you generally use. Thanks a mil!

Thanks for your kind words Mita! Glad you liked the recipe. 😍😍 Baby blue buttercream sounds yum!!
Onto your query now –
Mita I have two cups – one measures 240 ml and the other 250 ml. The one that I used for this recipe was 240 ml. It won’t matter if you use a 240 ml or 250 ml cup. 10 ml difference won’t make a significant change to most recipes, including baked goods. Hope that helps!

Loved this recipe. It came out perfect Ruchi. 🙂 🙂 Was a bit scared to make at first after reading the last comment but followed your advice and my cupcakes had a perfect doomed. My family and friends loved it. Thank you so much for sharing. Onto trying your butterscotch cupcakes recipe.

Hi! I have made butterscotch cupcakes and red velvet cupcakes using your recipes and both were super hits. I wanted to make these also and was just wondering what chocolate extract is and is there a substitute for it?

Thanks for trying my recipes. Glad to hear that you are enjoying them.
Chocolate extract is a flavoring agent where flavors are extracted straight from the source (chocolate). You can find it in any bakery shop. If not, substitute chocolate extract with vanilla essence. Hope that helps!

Thanks Shikha!
Granulated sugar is the one that has small crystal size sugar particles. Like the one we get in India.
Powdered Sugar or icing sugar/confectioner’s sugar are all the same. As the name suggest it is in its powdered state.
Superfine sugar also referred to as castor sugar has a very fine grain. Like the one you see in this recipe. Compared to granulated sugar, it dissolves quickly.
